    Sat us on time on a busy Sat nite. Food was delicious, service a little spotty but waitress was doing her best to please. We all enjoyed our entrees and have a decent wine list. Not too noisy so we could enjoy our conversation. I recommend Josephine’s.

    The food, service and entire experience was awful. From our drinks to dessert, the food was flavorless and of poor quality. My husband and I split a Caesar Salad. The salad was literally 4 bites. For $18.00 I would have expected more. We also ordered several other appetizers for our party of 4 to share. I was looking forward to the Spedini. Unfortunately it was very underwhelming. The bread was parbaked frozen rolls similar to the ones you get from the supermarket. My chicken was like rubber, my husband's parpadelle was like mush. We should have known what we were in for when my husband sent his Manhattan back because it tasted terrible. When he told the waiter that he didn't like it the waiter was combative. Stating that it was made with Candadian Club, when my husband told him a Manhattan is made with Bourboun or Rye not Whiskey the waiter argued with him. Our dinning partners wanted to pay a portion of the bill with a Visa gift card and the remainder in cash. The waiter returned and told us the owner does not accept Visa gift cards. Overall I would not recommend Josephine's. Nothing about this restaurant makes me want to return.

    Great food and they had a wonderful singer that night. Made it fun and memorable. I had the chicken Parmesan, which was very good and the meatball appetizer was terrific.

    Dinner & service were exceptional and there was an amazing male singer who had an excellent voice. The whole evening was fantastic. Definitely one of the best restaurants in the area!

    Be ware, if you go on a weekend, the entertainer who is clearly trying is hardest was way too loud. It was impossible to have a conversation with your dinner guests. Also it took almost 1.5 hours to get our dinner. The waiter was working as hard as he could, but they were clearly understaffed. Would not return, which is a shame, but it was a good place in the past. The food, when it did come out was good. The sauces were well seasoned and balanced.

    They say they were having a bad night but it still cost us over $450! Food is like a pizzerias but seriously overpriced! No water or bread for 45 minutes, had to bus our own table, waiter “forgot” initial order for meatballs and calamari. When asked for it because after 1.5 hrs they finally brought my mother’s appetizer. Waiter said he forgot and could bring the calamari but the meatballs would take awhile. We never got them. They brought mains while still eating the appetizers. So nothing for over an hour and then everything all at once. Certainly NOT fine dining. The table next to us gave up and left after waiting an hour for anything. Only water on their table when they left. This restaurant came recommended but there was just nothing good about them and the lack of service was disgraceful!
